The first game I remember watching was on TV, in '62 vs Ga Tech. Stovall took a kickoff 90+ yards for a TD, plus Lindsey Nelson called the game and butchered pronouncing some classic south Louisiana names.
However I watched games before that I just don't remember them. I am sure I watched the Orange Bowl vs Colorado the previous year and maybe something before that.
Don't even remember my first trip to Tiger Stadium to see them play. I'm too freakin' old to remember.

I was watching this game in Michigan..... I always said that after that game I wanted to watch a game in TS...... Well my dream came true with the 1979 USC game............. We WON that fricking game.

Hardin Simmons 1958.

I was 12, in Tiger Stadium, where my Dad had played in the Golden Band.

What a season. National Champions.

White Team, Go Team, and the mighty Chinese Bandits.

Oh, we won.

LSU Florida 97. I watched other games before that but that one is the last one I remember. It was the first memorable game because my dad told me LSU had no shot.

On TV, my first game was the Bluegrass Miracle my junior year in HS. Was instantly hooked.

In person was Miss St in 2004 as an LSU freshman. It was a day game, hot as f***, and we shut them out 51-0. Yet Saban still found something to get pissed about as one of my memories of the game was him running out to the hashes screaming at a zebra.

In my defense, I grew up in a household where NFL was king. I remember the rare New Year's game on as a kid but not much more than that. I now have my Dad hooked on college football.

1993 Alabama is the first one I can remember. I was 13.

Grew up out in the country in Texas and we didn’t have cable, only picked up the Notre Dame games etc. We were never on tv!

LSU in the gold jersey’s taking on Notre Dame in the Independence Bowl. Was way too young to remember pretty much anything about the game, but I remember being in the gold.

LSU vs. UGA 2003 as a student, witnessing Skyler Green catching that winning TD in front of me. It was terrific!

1977 vs Rice. I believe we won 77-0 and Carlos Carson had a great game. What stands out the most was how many guys from Rice (it could have been Wyoming) got hurt...of course now I realize it was probably cramps
